Red Sea Dive Disaster Survivors Reveal Disturbing Cover-Up Attempts

Survivors of last November's Red Sea dive-boat tragedy, which claimed 11 lives, report concerning irregularities in the investigation process. The incident involved the sinking of the Sea Story vessel, which carried 46 passengers, leaving four confirmed dead and seven still missing, including two British citizens. Multiple survivors report being pressured to sign Arabic documents they couldn't understand, with translations provided by an undisclosed employee of the boat company, Dive Pro Liveaboard. The survivors were reportedly required to give statements shortly after the rescue, some while still in hospital beds, to individuals identified as judges.

1000 Officers Scale Walls to Arrest South Korean President in Dawn Raid!

South Korea's sitting president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested Wednesday after investigators scaled walls and cut through barbed wire at his residence, marking the first such arrest of a president in the nation's history. The arrest followed a failed attempt on January 3rd when investigators were blocked by presidential security. This time, approximately 1,000 officers arrived before dawn, equipped with ladders and bolt cutters to overcome barricades including buses at the entrance. Yoon, 64, faces insurrection charges related to a December 3rd martial law order. While he claimed the order protected against "anti-state" forces, it came amid his political struggles following the opposition's victory in last April's election. Before his arrest, Yoon released a three-minute video stating he would cooperate with investigators despite believing the warrant was illegal. His lawyers contest the Corruption Investigation Office's jurisdiction over insurrection charges and […]

Former SafeSport Investigator Faces Serious Criminal Charges

A former U.S. Center for SafeSport investigator and ex-police officer has been arrested on multiple felony charges, including rape and sex trafficking. Jason Krasley, who previously served as an Allentown, Pennsylvania, police officer, was taken into custody Friday for alleged crimes committed between 2011 and 2015 during his time on the force.

The center has initiated a third-party audit of cases handled by Krasley and is consulting experts […]

Trump’s Shadow Looms Over Greenland’s Quest for Freedom

The debate over Greenland's future has intensified following Donald Trump's recent statements about acquiring the island. From the ice-covered fjords of Nuuk to remote settlements, Greenlanders are responding to these developments while navigating their path toward potential independence.

Nigeria’s Museum Chief Calls for Indigenous Language Integration and Cultural Preservation

The National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) Director-General Olugbile Holloway has proposed incorporating indigenous languages and cultural contexts into Nigerian museums to enhance their relevance and accessibility. During an ARISE NEWS interview, Holloway emphasized the importance of presenting museum narratives in local languages alongside English. He explained that certain artifacts' spiritual and cultural significance cannot be fully conveyed in English alone, necessitating the use of indigenous languages for accurate representation. Discussing the 1897 Benin punitive expedition, Holloway described it as a significant colonial looting event that disrupted the Benin Kingdom's social and cultural foundation.
